SEOUL – World tennis number one Roger Federer ended a dominant 2006 by defeating world number two Rafael Nadal in an exhibition match in Seoul yesterday.
Playing for a purse undisclosed by match organizers Hyundai Card, a stylish Federer took the game 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 in one hour and 22 minutes for his fourth victory in the 10th meeting between the two — and his second in three days. The previous win came in the semi-finals of the Shanghai Masters last Saturday, with Federer triumphing 6-4, 7-5 before winning the final of the season-ending tournament against American James Blake, also in straight sets.Nampa-AFPThe previous win came in the semi-finals of the Shanghai Masters last Saturday, with Federer triumphing 6-4, 7-5 before winning the final of the season-ending tournament against American James Blake, also in straight sets.Nampa-AFP
